I was playing around online last nite and wanted to see what would come up if I searched my username in google's search engine. Well I came across this russian site that is literally taking all of our hard work and reposting it as their own. Most of it comes from their memeber "nafuk", who also has an account here since may 09 and has yet to leave a post or comment. I didn't like seeing all of my skins there but what rubbed me the wrong way was when I seen JML's MenuSense new version 1.65 posted. JML has clearly asked/posted to not create any mirrors in his app thread, yet this guy totally dismisses it. He could at the very least post links to where he took all the stuff from no? Am I the only one that see's this as wrong? Here's the link, go thru a few of the pages to see the magnitude of whats going on..

Man what the ****?!?! thats some serious ****face this na"****".
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] orangekid:
not cool,

I would contact their forum admins and ask them why they are allowing this to happen, they at least need to abide by no-mirror wishes and credit the rest.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
This guy is posting the stuff we are posting here one day after beeing posted. On some entries he tells the name of the author but thats it and he only does that sometimes. He is just taking the images we post and all the cabs. I was able to find nearly all my contributions there. Most of them just saying :CHT Theme Banality and then the CAB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ohamn:
Clearly a case of....

..... "I don't give a rats ass about the enormous job some of the people in XDA -developers are doing!"

How about asking the moderators to ban mr nafuk for ****ing life from XDA-Developers!?!?

I would like to see swift judgment against this thief! :mad:

Keep up the great work even though some people doesn't seem to care that you are doing this for the community, and not for someone posing as the inventor of the stuff on another site.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Yea it's complete BS!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I seen all of our most recent stuff on there. I joined the site and left a comment @ the end of the thread. He pm'd me asking not to report it then responded and said he removed my cabs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
would you plz report it nando? it cant be that he only removes the cabs when someone is complaining. I dont see, why we all first need to make a account there and then complain. plz tell the admins over there
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lunie:
indeed, hope he at least apologizes. taking other peoples work and calling it your own is a huge insult to the original developers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Check your pm;)

I'm sorry to say but I seen some of your stuff there as well:eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
WTF!!!

Are you guys serious? What in the world goes through peoples heads when they decide to rip people off. I dont know the first thing about any of this phone stuff. EVERYTHING on my phone is from the wonderful people here at XDA and I ALWAYS,ALWAYS give credit where credit is do. That is ****ED up!:mad:

Hope you guys get it all fixed!!!:eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hi

But hes is not the only one! At last BHC Interceptor tells me that he found a guy that use exactly all my grafiks! He is telling that these grafiks are made by himself! I have registered me there and i send him a private message! But there comes no answer! But the hardest thing is that he is ADMIN in this forum and i was thinking he knows what is right and what not.

I have googled my name too and i found Russian, chinese, greek and much more Forums that use all the stuff form XDA. But i think we have to live with or do you have a copyright on your stuff?. I´m not!

But it would be nice when that guys leave here with a thank you or they should say thanks to the original author on his forum. But i think that will not be.

regards Dic3ptor
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Well I PMed lnando84 the profile of the admin. We all share our work with the whole of you and I think we deserve a little credit. I found some of my stuff posted by other peoples in different forums but they always had the honesty to write who created this and post a link to the original thread. But this one just rips us of.

If they were asking I wouldnt mind that much
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ezzie:
gosh it would be a shame if someone with the know how would crash these sites.......:eek::confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kikisp:
Guys as i can see he is giving credits to the author..he doesnt say that this is his work...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cocopuff:
This russians has been qite busy ripping people stuff off, thats wrong. What makes it so bad is a picture with a cigar in the mouth, like he made it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Well that royally sucks........... :(

Some people have no respect.

Hmm seems he got me too. At least credit was given though.

Sucks for those dont want to be mirrored or didnt get credited.

I wonder if he's got any of Dinik's stuff up there......... Im sure he'd have something to say about that.

Sadly, I dont think theres much that can be done from a moderation point of view (on this side anyway).

Banning this guys XDA account wont stop him from taking the stuff and theres always the chance that it might not have been the same guy, slim chance I know....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
well it appears as if the russians really dig Diniks stuff ;) everything is there.....there are more than 2000 Cabs that were posted here or in the winmo themes and apps section.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jmart518:
Ridiculous :mad:...sorry to hear about this guys!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
=.= WTF ? is he kidding us ..!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
LOL nope no joking. Listen to this I just checked and I have several warnings that I'm going to be banned from their site. The damn nerve of these guys..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
haha :]] they are so dangerous =]]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
You gotta be kidding!? Wow must be a whole site full of Douche bags;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
You guys will love this.. nafuk is a guru on their site!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lunie:
oh, well now im sad too ;_;

EDIT: Well hopefully someone here is able to contact "nafuk" and teach him how to refer to original sources. I am angry in a way but then again it doesn't matter too much to me as long as there are some people out there who actually enjoy my work :P

But yea in the end credit does need to be given :3

EDIT2: Found mine, he did list my name but didn't link to the original post. :\
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] adazamim:
Very bad,

Is there a copyright protection or something to stop that freak from stealing original work fro hard workers?

I hope there is !!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I am really pissed off ........

Thank you dear LNANDO for revealing these despicable acts ...

What else to do !!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Has someone contacted the admins of our forum to make them ban him here? I mean he wont have a problem getting on this site again, new mail address and go again, but it would be a start.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Ill bring this up with the other mods and see what the general concensus is on the subject.

Unfortunately though I think it will continue to happen unless the admin of the Russian site takes action, and sadly most sites do not enforce rules regarding others work as stringently as XDA does.

Has anyone contacted this guy nafuk??

Sent from my fingers to your face...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Thanks conan ;) lnando talked with him, but well this guy just answered, that if lnando wouldnt tell he would remove his stuff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beastliest:
wtfff that's messed up
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
lol... you mean that he would take down lnando's work if he kept quiet about what the guy was doing?

Thats pretty low... :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
yes exactly. I saw the PM....that guy knows exactly what he is doing and still wont stop.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
okay in that case lnando needs to report that PM asap.

There's a little report (exclamation) button the same as the ones in the top right corner of all posts.

Like I said , Im not sure exactly how much we can do at this end to stop this happening but I guess anything is better than nothing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
this PM wasnt send in this forum, but on the russian forum. So he cant report it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
ahh right ok. :(

Oh well. lol

Anyone have a decent size botnet at their disposal ;)

Just kidding....... I couldnt possibly condone that sort of thing :D:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
very easy solution:

downloads only for group members. If you find back things, then we konw who has donwloded which things. Ok not 100% sure but better then nothing. Or we will write an MUST update app for this type of stuff ;-). After 1 month you need to update by the author (like i- things *lol).

Or we can ask our russian, chinese and what ever friends here on XDA to help us out.

To make things clear in these froums. This will be the easiest solution.

Another way is to tell this directly to HTC. Because he is using original stuff from them. Is this ok?

I don' t thing. Or he has asked HTC for that. Some mails from us users or the XDA admins and we

will see what happens...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] svetius:
Agree this is very very annoying. I am going to try filing DMCA takedown notices with Google. I think it would be useless to do so directly with the site. Will try to figure out other ways to help out as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Thanks svetius, much appreciated.

Sent from my fingers to your face...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
He's still at it. He already has Nord's new Urban Life Theme posted..didn't he just share it with us here? http://www.youhtc.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=7384&page=46

I found out that their "thanks" or "reputation" system also allows members to take thanks points away(give them -1 thanks). So lets just sat I used up all my thanks for the day..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
unfortunately this isn't something that we will be able to just stop overnight. However I can assure you guys that steps are being taken to prevent this sort of thing happening. As svetius mentioned, that site probably won't be of much help but anything we can do at this end we will do.

I'll personally be attempting to get a response from someoneat that end and would urge anyone else affected to do the same.

It is not the policy of the moderation team to discuss such matters in public forums but as I said please be assured that this issue is not being dismissed. We cannot promise a perfect solution but we will do our best.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lapis21:
Guys, we have in Russia many bears, I suggest giving it to them to be eaten :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
Hello, all positions, without reference to this site, I deleted!

And let's stop talking about the theft, under each topic is indicated nickname of the author, better think about the resolution to place works of authors from hda to our forums.

Noise on page 4 of nothing, why? ask and I'll take measures. And Do not tell on account of some of +1 or -1, I'm not interested.

I think you are, then, has agreed to allow me to place ukrashalki us.

Thank you, friends!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Это начало! Спасибо!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Sorry to read all of this happening, but even more sad is to see such things also happening in other places and not to far from here :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Вы не должны принимать вещи, которые не твой! Надеюсь, в будущем вы будете помнить это!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Вы absolutly право!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
Then what prevents you just tell me to place our creations with an indication of the author and links to the posts of the authors of the works?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
I remove from our forum posts with ukrashalkami lnando84. I think others do not mind posting them ukrashalok us. Thank you.

Nordpolcamper, I also know the bad words, not necessarily my nickname misinterpret.

None of you did not hurt, either morally or materially, due to the fact that your creations are available on another site, on the contrary.

If you look at the number of hits is basically a "0", the website we have a young and small users.

So, do not be snobs, but rather calmly to allow me to continue to show your design, the more one does not detract from your achievement.

Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
darkwolfelite, your creations on our website is not as BHS Interceptor, and others.

To the authors, whose ukrashalki is, I can apologize and say thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
@nafuk:

1st - We here on XDA provide the english language, so everyone can read it. I can read what you have written, but thtat is not the way how it works here on XDA.

2nd - When you had asked all the authors before you have posted her stuff you will had have no problems. And someone to ask for his permission to can publish the stuff elsewhere, is the minumum what you can do, to have further support. Because on problems you send the users to us here, and we must help YOU out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tolechka:
sounds like he apologized and promised to comply.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
I´ve seen quite a lot of my old work floating around the net in different world regions and languages.

Most postings, it is to say, were a copy/paste of my own thread here at xda, sometimes translated, but usually clearly showing the source - and in most cases, the cabs were not uploaded there, but there were links to xda.

Astonishingly, there are also quite some mirrors on file sharing platforms.

To me, it looks as if the Russian forum is kind of an exception - not nice, but considering the few non-English postings here (forum rules, doesn´t anything like this exist in Russia?), there might be some improvement.

After all, this is the internet. What happened here gives us a feeling of how software makers who are suffering a loss of income due to theft of their work must feel. I never wanted any money for what I made, it was my humble attempt to return at least a small thing to the great xda community.

Let´s keep the HD2 alive!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
Почему вы не просто опубликовать одну ссылку на ваш сайт xda главной странице. Все остальное будет сделано серферов.

И, почему бы вам не сообщению на английском языке. Вы понимаете по-английски.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
ready to accept any proposal for cooperation by providing links to Russian sites.

I do not know English, I communicate with online translators
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
conantroutman, thank you very much for your kind words
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
Thanks Dic3ptor, tictac0566, MrBeOTP2, Nordpolcamper, rat_2665, for permission to post me your work in Russia.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Buisness as usual..??

Your welcome.

I'd like to think now, that this matter is taken care of.

For the record, I do not think that nafuk meant any harm in what he was doing or intended to take credit for anyone elses work. As I understand it, most of the people who have commented in this thread have been in contact with nafuk already.

Although he may have gone about things in the wrong way, his intentions were good and he's completely willing to give full credit to the original creators of anything that he has reposted. He's also willing to remove links to somebodys work if they would like him to do so. In future I am sure that he will be certain to ask for somebodys permission before posting their work elsewhere.

I appreciate that it can be frustrating to think that something you've put a great deal of work and effort into is being reposted without your consent. That said, I think we would all agree that as long as we are credited for our work then it should be taken as a compliment.

Also... I was quite glad to think that there is still a great demand for WM6.5 based themes in spite of the menace that is Android ;)

Ваш прием.

Я хотел бы думать теперь, что этот вопрос является заботиться.

Для записи, я не думаю, что nafuk понимается любой вред в том, что он делает или не предназначенная для взять кредит на работу любой elses. Как я понимаю, большинство людей, которые прокомментировал в этой теме были в контакте с nafuk уже.

Хотя он, возможно, пошел о вещах, в ту сторону, его намерения были хорошими, и он полностью готов дать полный кредит для оригинальных создателей все, что он повторно отправил. Он также хочет, чтобы удалить ссылки на работы Somebodys если они хотели бы его сделать это. В будущем я уверен, что он будет непременно попросить Somebodys разрешения, прежде чем отправлять их работу в другом месте.

Я понимаю, что это может быть неприятно думать, что то, что вы вложили много труда и усилий в настоящее время повторно отправил без вашего согласия. То есть, я думаю, мы бы все согласны с тем, что до тех пор, как мы начисляются за нашу работу, то это следует воспринимать как комплимент.

Кроме того ... Я был очень рад думать, что еще есть большой спрос на WM6.5 основана тем, несмотря на угрозы, которые Android;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
Thank you, friends
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
Somebodys.

Greetings. Dear author, I ask you to resolve to me (nafuk) to place your works on a site in Russia, thus I undertake at placing of your material or work to specify yours ник and a direct reference in your post on XDA, thus the Russian users will be infinitely grateful. If there are any conditions or wishes of your placing swore, with pleasure and I will necessarily take it into consideration. Thankful in advance to your answer. NAFUK
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nafuk:
In Russia, a lot of people who like Windows Mobile 6.5.

And the great works of authors from this great site-HDA,

are finding more and more fans.

Thank you friends, for your words of support.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htownblk:
I have the MCCM HD V4.0 [Desire HD] ROM installed on my phone and I've also installed the Louder Volume Hack v3.6. Now once I open the hack app, it tells me choose a volume I want to use. I choose one and it brings up a window that says, "Do you want to push: V6r2(BASE), so I hit the "Sounds Good" button. At the Bottom of the screen it says, "V6r2 Pushed to Filesystem". I go to my music and see the difference in the volume and it sounds the same. I've tried to restart the phone, uninstall and reinstalling the app, downloading the app from a different source, and I got the same problem. Can someone please help me out!!!!! Thank in Advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meltus:
Please don't pirate my app ;)

Hi!

I can host roms for developers, if needed. I have an extra server with 750gb/mo bandwidth on a 100mbps line.

If you are an active XDA member, developing roms, and don't feel like using mediafire, hit me up on IRC (http://chat.andirc.net/).

I don't want to steal any of your thunder at all zifnab. I can assist as well if needed. I have 10gb with unlimited bandwidth. If it can be useful at all I would love to help the cause. Use zifnab first though he was the kind hearted soul that actually had the idea and posted first.

Your rom hosting rocks dude, I use it any time anything needs hosting. Way better than crap multiupload.

Sorry to say that dedicated and house just don't go together. Though it might pass for a real dedicated server if you didn't say it was a home connection.

This forum would eat your 50Mbps alive and then your family wouldn't be able to watch NetFlix
